Chapter 115 Coordination
Chapter 115 Coordination
Claude gasped in shock as soon as he heard the shout.
The Fourth Camp was just attacked by the Barbarians and now, the Rebel Army appeared exactly on time to block their reinforcements!
It was as if they were doing this in coordination!
'Something's not right…' Claude thought as he worriedly looked at the battalion of the rebel army coming after them.
Although the few soldiers at Third Camp would probably help the Fourth Camp, these soldiers wouldn't greatly affect the battlefield, especially if faced with the Barbarian Poison Users and their Wizards.
What they certainly need right now are the elite Master Magicians and Magic Knights following the Hailstorm General.
However, if they were truly blocked here, it would be disastrous for the fourth camp!
As Vincent was worrying about the battle that was about to come, another Knight came to their side and made a report.
"Knight Claude! General Yves gave another order. My squad will break through their formation together with the Jung Clan and Zemin Clan and you will lead Sir Vincent's carriage as well and bring them safely to the Fourth Camp…"
"Ahh! It's Arch Knight Reaver! Very well then! We will follow behind!" Claude immediately felt relieved as soon as he saw the Arch Knight.
Within the Blue Storm Army, there are only four Arch Knights. The two Vice Generals who are currently at the Fourth Camp, General Yves, and finally, Arch Knight Reaver who has no official military rank as of now because he had just recently advanced to his level.
However, depending on his choice, he could either form a special battalion of his own or still work under General Yves if he wanted to.
Since he hasn't made his choice yet, he's probably just waiting for the invasion to end and leave this chaotic eastern border.
Claude believed that Reaver would surely make a path for them to break through even if he's only a new Arch Knight…
"Sir Severin, how does an Arch Knight differ from a Magic Knight?"
Vincent asked.
If there is a level, both Master Magician and Magic Knight are Level 3 in their profession.
Level 4 would be Adept Mage of Magician's Path while Arch Knight for Knight's Path.
This is something Vincent couldn't understand since Arch Mage is considered Level 5. He's curious why no Adept Knight to balance it out.
On the other hand, Severin couldn't help but wryly smile at Vincent's question.
They were currently in a serious situation and here he is, wanting to be educated on matters that can be learned if he attended the academy.
"Ehem… Since we may not be participating in battle, let me tell you then…"
Severin coughed for a moment before he continued to explain.
"You should already know that Master Magicians is a stage where Mana Practitioners could transform their mana into an Element… On the other hand, being an Adept Mage means not only you could use Tier 4 Mana Arts or Body Transformation Techniques but you can also tap the power of your life. As for the Arch-Mage, it is a stage in which you can already create your own Mana Arts."
Severin provided a brief explanation. Unfortunately, Vincent didn't understand what he was trying to say but still nodded his head.
'An Adept Mage can use the power of life? Is it Life Force? Soul Force?'
Seeing this, Severin finished his explanation.
"For the Magic Knights, however, they have a cultivation method that would divert from normal Mana Cultivation. This method would allow them to use the power of an Arch or someone who can freely create their own Mana Arts using a transformed Mana."
"Transformed Mana?"
"Yes… You will learn about it someday, Sir Vincent." Severin mysteriously said.
At this point, the battle outside finally reached its climax. Severin has been trying to stay calm all this time but he still felt his hand trembling as he could feel many life forces dissipating within the battlefield.
Vincent also fell silent as he looked outside.
There, he found that the Rebel Army was indeed all wearing a red band on their shoulders to identify themselves.
What's surprising though is that this army seems to be composed of three groups.
One battalion was filled with people that seemed like adventurers with their leather armors, and their battle style appears to be quite crude.
Another group was a disciplined army and Vincent could guess that they are probably forces that were truly working for Grand Knight France.
Finally, there was a group of people wearing tattered clothes but were still incredibly powerful as they fought with great agility using daggers or short swords as their weapons.
Vincent couldn't help but recall Macy from the Dark Sky Cult that he had beaten before.
"I can't tell but will there be Celestial Being joining this battle?" Vincent worriedly asked.
Right now, General Yves activated his Magic Weapon or perhaps Artifact and created a blizzard to stop the momentum of the Rebel Army!
Whooshh~
This is the first time Vincent saw such a large-scale elemental Mana Arts!
He had seen Magic Bullets, Fire Balls, Ice Lance, and others in his journey but this Blizzard is on a different level!
No wonder he was called the Hailstorm General!
"Don't worry… Celestial Beings wouldn't interfere unless we release our Celestial Beings as well. General Yves wouldn't recklessly do that."
"That's reassuring…" Vincent muttered but suddenly, the earth trembled as their carriage was thrown and flipped by the sudden force!
Hhiii~
The horses of their carriage were then suddenly impaled by earth spikes that has appeared without any notice!
Luckily, Vincent and Severin were ready as they jumped out in time.
Thud!
Knight Claude was also thrown off his horse and landed beside Vincent…
"Ugh! This is not good." The Knight frowned as he stood up holding his sword tightly. He didn't take any damage from the fall but he can tell that the overall situation is not favoring them.
The Blue Storm Army's formation was starting to collapse because of the sudden large-scale Earth Elemental Mana Arts used to throw them off.
"We need to find the Earth Elemental Magicians… There can't be too many of them. If we don't stop them from destroying the terrain, we will be defeated at this rate." Claude announced to everyone.
Vincent and the others then looked at the battlefield carefully as they wanted to find the Magicians who were able to do this.
Meanwhile, they also notice that even Lady Yulia's group had started to engage in battle… There were no carriages that remained safe from the attack!
Vincent could see how the Rebel Army fought aggressively while their side desperately controlled the situation through their disciplined formation and battle techniques.
Unfortunately, the trouble didn't end here.
Boom! Boom!
"What?! Look over there!"
"How come they're here!"
"They really joined forces with the Barbarians?!"
Suddenly, behind the Rebel Army, they found a small squad of barbarians following them! They were all wielding large but dull blades.
Although there are only 12 Barbarians, their huge build and oppressive aura can be felt even from their spot.
"Hmph! Don't panic! There are just twelve of them! There's no way that there are many of them who could cross without being noticed by the other camps…"
Suddenly, a red-haired man shouted as he calmly gazed at the opponents in front. He is Florent from the Jung Clan.
"Once the formation of the Blue Storm Army collapsed, we will be the ones to deal with the Barbarians. Let the Hailstorm General stop the Rebel Army! We need to find our clansmen in the fourth camp! Find all the available horses we can use!"
Florent gave his command as he rallied his subordinates.
Soon, the formation of the Blue Storm Army collapsed under the continued assault of the Rebel Army…
"They're here! Let's not save our Mana anymore and end this immediately!" Romain shouted as he excitedly look at the approaching Rebel Army and the Barbarians.
Apparently, Arch Knight Reaver was stopped by ten Magic Knights and five Adept Mages from the Rebel Army… No matter how skilled he is, he would still need some time before he could defeat them.
Finally, Lady Yulia's group met the Barbarians first as Florent and his clansmen followed.
At this time, Vincent was able to see the Barbarians up close! There were four Barbarians who managed to reach their location as the Rebel Army paved a path for them!
'Bronze skin, silver hair, red eyes, and teeth like those from the sharks… So this is what they look like…' Vincent thought as he observed them with his tranquil eyes.
Right now, he already drank a vial of Serene Potion and Mana Recovery Potion too. Then, he drew his dagger and cane at the same time.
"Sir Vincent! I can't stay here. Arch Knight Reaver is in trouble! He'll die at this rate! I'll go ahead and help him in front! Be careful!"
"Alright! You can leave us here!" Vincent answered as he wasn't too worried about his situation yet.
He has his mana completely filled and his hands are itching for battle.
